I was thinking the same thing as GarlyDog/Gary. Emergency preparation, like guns, may attract a particular crowd, but within any group there is often a surprising amount of variation. Recognizing such diversity may be a good thing for the forum. Besides, in an emergency you're up the same s**t creek no matter what sort of stuff you like.

Just for one data point, there are three people at least with anime avatar. That may be as many as the dog avatars. That's pretty good.
